"Pythagoras, 38." 



FOREWORD. 

In placing this second and highest work of the Order into 
your hands it is necessary to say but a few words regarding 
it. 

Some students have an idea that there is something new 
in Magic. There is not, for the more we study the old Mas- 
ters the more we find out how absolutely ignorant we are 
concerning the hidden forces known to them. 

There is but one thing which we of the present age can 
give to the beginner, and that is the Key to the old writings, 
for these are in such language as to mislead practically all 
but the greatest of teachers. 

The "Grand Grimore," often called "Book of Black Mag- 
ic," because absolutely misunderstood, contains practically 
all that is known concerning Magic. This same remark may 
be made concerning "The Key of Solomon the King," but, 
right here, we must bear in mind that the "Grand Grimore" 
is simply the "Key of Solomon the King" in the Gothic 
form. Thus the two are identical but used by a different 
people. 

In this present work we wish to give credit to whom credit 
is due, and as the authority of the Imperialistic Council is 
founded upon that of the old Masters we wish it understood 
that we are simply followingthe old Masters, giving you their 
knowledge, but in a modern and practical form. 

Concerning certain books issued by so-called Masters, we 
wish to be distinctly understood that these are issued with- 
out authority, and, what is more, without credit being given 
to the original authors, which is the worst feature. 

To the proofs: — 

We turn to page 44 of this so-called great work and we 



FOREWORD. 9 

find the instructions concerning Alchemy, word for word, 
as that given by Barrett in his "Book of the Magi," page 44. 
Not a word of credit is given, and the instructions are in the 
original form without any explanation. 

We turn to page 39 of the same work and we find that it 
is Barrett's, word for word on same page of the ' 'Book of the 
Magi." 

In fact, this so-called great work is practically chapter for 
chapter that of the "Book of the Magi" by Barrett. It con- 
tains the cuts, images, etc., of Barrett, and even the "Eio- 
graphia Antigua." 

There is no harm in republishing old books, but it is a se- 
rious thing for a man to call himself a High Caste Adept and 
Magician, boldly steal the work of the old Masters and with- 
out giving a word of credit. It is this which is serious and 
damnable. 

Do not think that we say this without absolute proof in the 
form of books by the old Masters themselves, and these are 
open for inspection by any Officer of the Law or by the stu- 
dent. 

It is needless to say who this publisher is, for the publish- 
ers of the Magazine "The Kalpaka," known as the "Latent 
Light Culture," Tinnevelly Bridge, South India, have ex- 
posed his method pretty thoroughly for stealing the private 
lessons known as "India's Hood Unveiled; Occult Mysteries 
Revealed," and publishing them in book form without giving 
credit and without authority. 

I regret that it is necessary to say this much, but as it is 
our duty to warn our Brothers against the false, we must do 
this. 

Besides this, all the instructions of the old Masters are given 
in crude form, which was intended to deceive and conse- 
quently the modern reader of these works is deceived. 

Concerning the two private chapters on the Crystal and the 
Magic Mirror and Spiritual Development, we wish it to le 
distinctly understood that these are according to the teach- 
ings of Dr. P. B. Randolph, without the slightest doubt the 



10 ' "GRAND GRIMORE." 



FOREWORD. 11 

greatest Master of any age. It .'was Dr. Randolph that broiight 
these Mysteries to America. It was he who first taught the 
mysteries of the Soul, of Immortalit)'', of Mysticism, of the 
Magic Mirror, Clairvoyance, etc., to the people of America, 
and all the present works on the subject are saturated with 
his teachings, but not one, without any exception, has given 
him a line of credit. 

If you have any doubts concerning what is said here, you 
will only need to obtain his works, and the proofs will be be- 
fore you. 

Regarding Masrean Magic, we need only say that they are 
the best instructions to be had. There can be nonh more 
simple or more powerful than these. It is the Old Magean 
Magic with the crude ceremonial part eliminated. It is the 
kernel of the nut. The meat without the shell. 

If you follow the spirit of these instructions faithfully then 
you must succeed. Failure is then impssible. 

Concerning the Talismans, we need say that we herein 
give you the most secret instructions of the Order, in that we 
show you how to make these under the signs of the Planets 
which rule them, instead of under the crude, laborious, cere- 
monial form. 

Praying that you may ever remain faithful to the Sublime 
Order, 

Fraternally yours, 

Pythagoras, 38, 
Supreme Master of the Order.

THE ART OF INVOKING SPIRITS IN THE CRYSTAI;. 

Containing full instructions ccneerning the work, both. 
ancient and modern. 

ANCIENT— THE ''GRAND GRIMORE." 

The Art of Invoking Spirits in the Crystal, or the pro- 
cess of Spiritual Development, has always been a most im- 
portant part of Divination, and the old "Grand Grimore" 
states that it was known and practiced by the ancients, as 
all those who read sacred or profane history may discover 
for themselves. It is further said that the sacred texts con- 
tain many references to invocation performed by the 
Crystal, and, that in the opinion of many learned and emi- 
nent men, the Urim and Thummin of Holy Scripture were 
used for a similar purpose to that of the lucid pebble in our 
own day. 

The following Ritual is found in the document known as 
the "Grand Grimore;" it exhibits the methods by which 
magic in the past produced results that were identical with 
many which are now obtained in a much simpler manner, 
with possibly greater success, but which require a longer 
time and possibly more personal will power. Those who 
are inclined to attempt the ceremonial experiment may rest 
assured that the use of an ordinary crystal with the most 
simple method of mounting will serve the purpose. The 
proper mode of inscription should be, however, observed, 
and also the other conditions before and during procedure, 
as carelessness in this respect is not only calculated to void 
the experience, but it is dangerous. 

All those who wish to obtain the assistance of the Good 
Spirits in the Crystal must lead a pure life, keeping them-

IMiPERIAL RITUAL 6P MACHC. 15 

selves, as it were, apart from the things that are vulgar. 
The invocant must maintain himself in an orderly, clean 
and pure manner, using frequent ablutions (bathing in 
cold water being best) and prayers, for at least three days 
before beginning the work; and the moon should be on the 
increase. The invocant may, if he wish, have several in- 
terested people, as companions, to assist him in the work; 
but they must all conform to the rules and forms necessary 
to be observed in. the practice of the great art. He must 
be firm, daring, strong in faith, filled with great confidence 
and must be careful that no part of the ceremonies be 
omitted, if he wish for success in the work. The accom- 
plishment of his design vrill depend upon the perform- 
ance of all that is prescribed herein. The invocant may 
proceed to the work at any time of the year, providing that 
the two Luminaries, namely, the Sun and Moon, are in a 
fortunate aspect, with favoring planets ; but when the Sun 
is in his greatest northern declination is the best time. 

CONCERNING THE ROOM. 

In order to carry on his work, the invocant must have a 
small room in some retired part of the house. It should be 
devoid of all adornments, since these might distract his 
attention ; but the floor must be perfectly clean, so as to re- 
ceive the lines of the circle and the characters to be traced 
thereon. The circle may then be drawn seven feet in 
diameter and the characters with the holy names inscribed 
duly and clearly, in accordance with the following model 
(see Cut A), using charcoal. 

The room must be kept free from the hurry of business, 
as well as from prying and curious intruders, and should 
be locked when not in use. The invocant must bear in mind 
that preparation belonging to the art must ever be made 
during the moon's increase.

THE APPARATUS AND INSTRUMENTS TO BE USED. 

The operator must be provided with a small tahle, 
covered with a white linen cloth, with a chain, with the 
necessary materials for a fire, in order to burn the incense 
proper to the planet governing the hour in which the work 
is performed ; with a torch and two wax candles, placed in 
brass candlesticks, and engraved, as shown in Cut B, on the 
pedestals. He must also have a pair of compasses, a knife, 
a cord, a pair of scissors, a magic sword of pure steel, as 
shown in Cut A, a magic wand, pens, ink, paper and parch- 
ment. All these instruments should be used by him for the 
first time, but may be used by him always thereafter. 

THE CRYSTAL 

The invoeant must be provided with a crystal ; it must 
be properly polished. In fact, such a one as usually used 
by the seer. It should be inclosed in some box, made of 
oak or any other polished material. 

The holy names must be written round about it in gold 
ink. If the oak box is used always, the letters may be 
written thereon, but in such case it must never be taken 
from the box. Any suitable will do whereon to place the 
crystal and the names written. 

CONSECRATION OF THE FLOOR. 

Bless, Lord, I beseech thee, this ground, even this 
place, and expel all evil and wickedness from this circle. 
Sanctify it and make it meet, becoming and convenient for 
Thy servant to begin and bring to pass therein all his de- 
sires, through our Lord and Saviour. Amen. 

Be thou blessed, creature of this crystal, be thou puri- 
fied and consecrated ; in tlie name of the Father and of the 
Son and of the Holy Ghost.

BLESSING THE LIGHTS. 

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the 
Holy Ghost. 0, Lord God, the heaven and the earth are 
full of thy glory, before whose face there is a bright and 
shining light for ever. Bless now, Lord, these creatures 
of light for ever. Bless these creatures of light which Thou 
hast given for the kindly use of man, that, being sanctified 
by Thee, they may not be extinguished by the evil power 
or filthy darkness of evil, but may shine forth brightly and 
lend their assistance to this holy work, through Christ our 
Lord. Amen. 

CONSECRATION OF THE INSTRUMENTS. 

0, God Almighty, Thou Who art a God of strength and 
greatly to be honored. Bless, Lord, these instruments, 
that they may be a terror unto the enemy, and that I may 
overcome therewith all phantasms and oppositions from the 
evil forces, through Thy influence and the help of Thy holy 
and mighty names — On, El, Agla, Tetragrammation — and 
in the Cross of Christ, our Lord. Amen. 

CONSECRATION OF THE CRYSTAL. 

Eternal God, Who by Thy wisdom hast appointed 
great power to the characters and other holy writings of 
Thy spirits and hast given unto them that use them faith- 
fully the power to work many things thereby: Bless this 
crystal, Lord, formed, framed and written by the hand 
of Thy servant ; that being filled with divine virtue and in- 
fluence by Thy command, most holy God, it may show 
forth its powder and virtue, to Thy praise and glory, 
through Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen. 

1 bless and consecrate this crystal, in the name of the 
Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. 

In consecrating all the instruments and other things 
necessary in this art, the invocant must repeat the forms 
of consecration while placing his hand upon the different

articles, havin^ bis face turned towards the East. These 
preliminaries being finished, he may place the table in 
front cf the circle, with the crystal thereon, the two candle- 
sticks — one of them on either side — the remaining ap- 
paratus ready at hand. He may then enter the circle — • 
with his companions — if any — on the day and hour of 
Mercury — the moon increasing — and begin the operations 
by invoking — with all the power of his being — the Spirit 
Yassago. 

THE INVOCATION. 

I exorcise, call upon and command the Spirit Vassago, 
by and in the nam^e of the Immense and Everlasting God, 
Jehovah, Adonai, Elchim, Agla, On, Tetragrammation, 
and by and in the name cf our Lord and Saviour Jesus 
Christ, the only Son of the Eternal and True God, Creator 
of heaven and earth and all that is therein — Filius, Sother, 
Emanuel, Primogenitus, EEcmousicn, Bonus, Via, Veritas, 
Sapientia, Virtus, Lex, Pastor, Propheta, Sacredos, 
Athanatos, Paracletus, Alpha and Omega — by all these 
high, great, glorious, royal and ineffable names of the om- 
nipotent God and of His only Son, our Lord and Saviour 
Jesus Christ, the Second Essence of the Glorious Trinity : 
I ezcreise, command, call upon and conjure thee — Spirit 
Vassago — wheresoever thou art. East, Vv^est, North or 
South, or being bound to any one under the compass of the 
heavens, that thcu mayst ccme immediately from the place 
cf thy private abode and appear to me visibly in fair and 
decent form v/ithin this crystal, stone or glass. I do again 
exorcise and command thee powerfully — Spirit Vassago — 
to com.e and appear visibly before me in this crystal, stone 
cr glass, in a fair, solid and decent form. And yet again 
I do bind strongly and command thee — Spirit Vassago — to 
appear and help me to obtain — (mention the desire) — even 
]y the virtue and power of those names whereby I can 
bind all rebellious, obstinate, refractory spirits — Alia, 
Carital, ]}.Iaribal, Carion, Uricn, Spyton, Lorcun, Mcirinos,

IMPERIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 27 

Agaion, Cados, Yron, Astron, Gardeong, Tetragrammation, 
Strallax, Spignos, Sother, Jah, On, El, Elohim — by all 
aforesaid — I command thee — Spirit Vassago — to make 
liaste, come away and do my bidding, as aforesaid, without 
further tarrying: In the name of Him Who shall come to 
judge the quick and the dead, and the world of fire. Amen, 

The invocant will gaze into the heart of the crystal while 
giving this command. After it is given he or she should 
continue to gaze into the crystal for from ten to fifteen 
minutes and hold the thought of what is desired. 

Do not expect the spirit to appear visibly before you, 
for this seldom happens, although your desire may become 
personified in visible form in the crystal. 

After gazing the required length of time, it is necessary 
to release the spirit in the following manner : 

LICENSE TO DEPART. 

Forasmuch as thou camest in peace and quietness, and 
hast ansvfered unto my petition, I give humble and sincere 
thanks unto Almighty God, in Whose name I called thee, 
in Whose name also thou camest; and now mayst thou de- 
part in peace, to me again returning, at what time soever 
I shall call thee by thine oath, or by thy name, by thine 
order or thine office, which is granted from the Creator. 
And the power of God be v/ith rr^e and thee, and upon the 
whole issue of God. Amen. 

The invocant should fcllov,^ this drill every evening 

until the desired object has been accomplished. In this 

fcrm of developm.ent the Neophyte m.ust not start until he 

knows that he can continue regularly until his desire haii 

, been accomplished.

IMPERIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 29 



THE MODERN INITIATION OF THE CRYSTAL. 
MODERN— ROSICRUCIAN SYSTEM. 

Clairvoyance is the art and power of knowing or cog- 
nizing facts, things and principles by methods totally dis- 
tinct from those usually pursued in their attainment. 

We are approaching the termination of the present 
civilization, are bidding farewell to many of its modes, 
moods, opinions, sentiments, thoughts and procedures, and 
are entering upon a new epoch of human history and might, 
destined to develop powers in man, now latent mainly, but 
which are destined to revolutionize the globe. On earth 
man is greatest, mind the greatest part of man, and clair- 
voyance the greatest part of mind. 

Clairvoyance depends upon a peculiar condition of the 
nerves and brain. The present instructions consist in the 
knowledge of the exact method hoiv, the precice time ivhere, 
and the proper time when. 

At first, clairvoyance, like any movement, nervous or 
muscular, requires a special eifort, but it soon becomes 
automatic, involuntary, mechanical. Keep your design, 
constantly before you, and your soul and inner senses will 
make grooves for themselves, and continue to move in them 
as cars on rails or wheels in ruts. Let your groove be clair- 
voyance. 

Lucidity is no gift, but a universal possibility common to 
the human race. It is latent, or still mind-power, and can 
be brought to the surface in a majority of cases. Omnia 
vincit labor! 

All m.ental action ccmes through nervous action, but in 
these caccs the results must be reached outside our usual 



30 ^'GHaND GRIMOSII.^* 



fMPERlAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. sl 

mental habitudes and paths. The person who attempts to 
reach clairvoyance and gets discouraged after a few trials 
dees not deserve the povrer. If you begin, keep riglit on. 
Every experiment lands you one step nearer success, and 
that, too, whether you aim at Psychometry, Lucidity, or 
any of the fifty phases or grades. 

Remember that physical conditions infiuence, modify 
and determine mental states, whether these be normal or 
recondite and mysterious. 

Nor forget that pure blood gives pure pov/er. If your 
blood is foul, do not attempt clairvoyance till you are free 
from it. Artists prepare their paints, you must prepare 
your body ; else no good picture comes, no lucidity follows. 
Sound lungs, stomach, kidneys, liver, brain, blood, heart 
and pelvic apparatus are necessary. Above all, the blood 
must be purified, vacated of its poisons, rheums, etc., and 
be tuned up to the concert pitch, if you would enjoy the 
music of the spheres, and know beyond your outer knowing. 

Food, digestion, drink, sleep, must be attended to. True 
clairvoyance is coincident only with normal appetites 
normally sated. Excess destroys it. Every passion, ex- 
cept the grosser, has a normal sphere. 

Clairvoyance is qualitative and quantitative, like all 
other mental forces. It is limited, fragmentary, incom- 
plete, in all, because we are all imperfect, hut no other 
being can occupy your ground, or be so great in your re- 
spective direction. No one exactly like you; and you pre- 
cisely like nobody else. We are like the world — green spots 
and deserts; arid here, frozen there; fertile in one sjDot, 
sterile in another ; therefore we should cultivate our special 
loves. Clairvoyant vigor demands attention to the law. 
The eternal equation of vital vigor is — rest equals exercise. 
Remember this and retain your power. 

Clairvoyance is an affair of the air, food, drink, love, 
passion, light, sleep, health, rest, sunshine, joy, music, 
labor, exercise, lungs, liver, blood, quite as much as of 



32 '^GBAND amMonE. '■ 



IMPERIAL EITUAL OF MAGIC. 33 

magnetic coma, for all mental operations are pliysically 
conditioned. 

Clairvoyance is an art like any other. The elements 
exist, but to be useful must be systematized. It has hither- 
to been pursued, not rationally, but empirically ; as a blind 
habit, a sort of gymnastic, a means to delude people, and 
scarce ever under intelligent guidance like the logical or 
mathematical or musical faculties of the soul, albeit more 
valuable than either, and like them, too, subject to the laws 
of growth. It is far-reaching, and once attained, though 
the road is difficult, amply repays the time and labor spent. 

The mystic ground has hitherto been the prolific hotbed 
of a host of noxious, dangerous superstitions and quack- 
eries; and this is the first attempt to reclaim it to rational 
investigation. Clairvoyance is a generic name employed 
to express various degrees and modes of perception, where- 
by one is enabled to cognize and know facts, things and 
principles; or to contact certain knowledge, without the 
use, and independent of, the ordinary avenues of sense. It 
is produced or attained in various degrees, by different 
methods, and is of widely diverse grades and kinds. 

In our ordinary state, we see through a glass, darkly; in 
clairvoyance, we see with more or less distinctness ; in in- 
tuition, the highest quality of the human mind, we leap to 
results at a single bound and this can come to many 
through soul development. There are hundreds who 
imagine they possess one or all of these faculties or qualifi- 
cations, and arrogate much importance, merely because 
the ideas have made such a strong impression on their 
minds; or perhaps they have seen one or two visions or 
spectral sparks or flashes. Such are what they claim to be, 
only in the wish. They need training. For clairvoyance 
is a thing or actual system, rule and laAV, and whoever 
would have it in its completeness or completely, must con- 
form to the science thereof. 

Clairvoyance, or actual perception, is of various kinds 
and degrees. It does not recjuire brilliant talents for its 



34 "ailAiSfD CRIMOREJ 



iMPERiAL RItUAL OF MAGIC. 35 

development, for many seers are inferior organically, 
cerebrally and intellectually, yet the higher and nobler, 
more brilliant, and finely constituted, the person is, the 
higher and nobler the clairvoyance they will develop. 
Some subjects can never get beyond the power to reach the 
scientific plane, while but a few attain that magnificent 
sweep of intellect and vision that leaps the world's bar- 
riers, forces the gates of death, and revels in the sublime 
mysteries of the universe. The purer the subject, the better 
the faculty. Goodness, not mere knowledge, is power. Re- 
member this. 

No tv;o persons' clairvoyance are precisely alike. Each 
clairvoyant has a personal idiosyncrasy that invariably de- 
termines his or her specialty, and, whatever that specialty 
may be, should be encouraged, for in that he or she will 
excel, and in no other. The attempt to force nature will be 
so much lost time and wasted effort. Adopt a specialtij and 
stick to it. 

"When any effort towards lucidity bids fair, by care, 
patience and perseverance, to become a success, and the sub- 
ject becomes dreamy, cr else sees flashes, sparks, white 
clouds, rolling balls of light vapor, or is partially lucid, 
the tendency of the mind should be carefully noted, and the 
future direction of the power or faculty be fully decided 
on, sought for, aimed at, and strictly, persistently, faith- 
fully followed, until a splendid, and never-to-be-dcubted 
triumph and success crowns the effort. 

Decide upon one thing or one plane that you ivish to at- 
tcdn and then stick to that until you meet with complete 
success. 

There are various kinds, as well as degrees, of clair- 
voyance. Natural, intellectual, spiritual and divine, social, 
practical and purely mental. Or a clear seeing of material 
forms; lucidity of mind generally; lucidity of special 
cerebral organs ; lucidity upon certain points, as Medicine, 
Spiritualism, ^.eligion, Philosophy, Science, Logic, Art, 
Love, etc. 



36 "GRAND GRIMORE.*' 



IMPEEIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 37 

Special cerebral organs become lucid, soon succeeded by 
an entire illumination of the brain. This is a grand, a sub- 
lime, a holy degree, for the subject sees, senses, feels, knows, 
by a royal power, in en rapport with a thousand knowl- 
edges. A step further, a step inward, and the subject is in 
harmony with both the upper and lower universe. It is 
when he reaches this state that he is the perfect occult or 
magical master. He or she is thenceforth a power in the 
world. All clairvoyance may not claim genius, but all true 
genius is clairvoyant. Mere talents are dry leaves, tossed 
up and dow^n by gusts of passion, and scattered and swept 
away; but genius lies on the bosom of memory and grati- 
tude at her feet. 

Magnetic or true clairvoyance is best brought about by 
steadily gazing in the depths of a magic mirror or crystal. 
It is only necessary that the Neophyte have a certain time 
each evening when he or she can retire into some private 
room, gaze into the depth of a magic mirror or crystal for 
fifteen m.inutes, holding in mind what is specially desired, 
and the result wall be clairvoyance in due time. 

All clairvoyants should, to be useful, successful and en- 
during, cultivate the habit of deep breathing, for all brain 
power depends upon the lung power, nor can continued 
ability exist if this be neglected. All clairvoyants should 
eat the best and purest things attainable. They need not 
be costly but natural and fresh. All clairvoyants must use 
great caution in matters of intoxicants. Abstinence is good, 
for error in that direction is fatal to clear vision, or its 
perpetuity when possessed. 

All magnetic, odyllic processes are far oftener produc- 
tive of grand results if conducted in a darkened chamber, 
than in a light room or one lighted by the sun. Moonlight 
is best, candlelight is good. 

If, at the end of a few experiments, sparks, flashes, 
streaks cf quick and lingering light are seen, then one or 
two things are probable. First, that the party by con- 
tinuance and repetition, can be clairvoyant; or, second, if 



38 ''GHAND GRIMORE. 



IMPERIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 39 

not too scary, these clouds and sparks may resolve them-" 
selves into spiritual forms of friends long gone or of 
spiritual entities. 

Persons ambitious to become clairvoyant must not forget 
that a full habit, amorous pleasures, high living and mental 
excitement all are disqualifications. The entire diet should 
be changed; the linens often; the skin, especially the head 
and hair, scrupulously so ; and, to insure success, the food 
should be very light ; fruits, tea and inilk may be used 
freely; but no chocolate, fat, oysters, pastry, and not much 
sugar. Nor should the person fail to think, wish and tvill 
the end aimed at continually. This is White Magic. 

All magic mirrors and true crystals are based upon the 
eternal fact, that whatever exists is something ; that 
thoughts are thmgs; that spirit is real substance ; that all 
things photograph themselves upon other surfaces; that 
sensitives can see and contact these shadows, lights, im- 
pressions and images, as abundantly demonstrated by 
Baron von Riechenbach in his researches into the arcana 
of chemism, light, force and magnetism ; also by thousands 
of others in all lands, and especially in these days, wherein 
disembodied people project an image of themselves upon 
paper, the artist sketching the outline with a pencil, thus 
photographing the supposed dead, recognizable by all who 
ever saw them when walking in flesh and blood. 

It is well established, however some may sneer, tb.at for 
ages men of the loftiest mental power have used various 
phj^sical agents as a means of vision, either to bring them- 
selves in contact with the supernal realms of the Aether, 
or to afford a sensitive surface upon which the attendant 
dead could, can and do temporarily photograph whatever 
they choose to. Nor is this all. I know that by a mysterious 
process, whose principle it is needless here to expound, a 
mirror or crystal is the best means to accomplish the end 
in view. 

The true elairvnynnt in the sublime degree moves and 
acts above and beyond the tempestuous, realms of the passions 
— defies their utmost power. Passion dulls the soul's best 
vision. To reach the lofty eminence, the subject's body 
must be purified, and proper preparation made. Food, 
raiment, habits must be modified. It is God's highest gift 
to man, and cannot be had without a struggle.

THE MEANS OF DEVELOPING CONSCIOUS 

MEDILl^ISHIP. 

Place the beard upon the laps cf two persons, lady and 
ji^entleman preferred, with the small table upon the board. 
Place the fingers lightly but firmly, without pressure, upon 
the table, so as to allow it to move easily and freely. "With- 
in one to five minutes the table will commence to move, at 
first slowly, then faster, and will then be able to talk or 
answer questions, which it will do rapidly by touching the 
printed words, or the letters necessary to form words and 
sentences, with the foreleg or points. 




2nd. Care should be tiiksn that one person only should 
ask questions at a tim.e, so as to avoid confusion, and the 
questions should be put plainly and accurately. 

3rd. To obtain the best results it is important that the 
persons present should concentrate their minds upon the 
matter in question and avoid other topics. Have no one 
at the table who will not sit seriously and respectfully. If

you use it in a frivolous spirit, asking ridiculous questions, 
laughing over it, you naturally get undeveloped influences 
around you. 

4tli. The Planchette Indicator is a great mystery, and it 
is impossible to give exact directions for its managem.ent, 
at all times, and under all circumxStances, but with reason- 
able patience and judgment, it will more than satisfy the 
greatest expectations. 

5th. In putting the table together wet the tops of the 
legs and drive them firmly into the table; care should be 
taken that they are firm and tight. 

6th. The board should be kept smooth and free from 
dust and moisture, as all depends upon the ease with which 
the feet of the table can glide over the surface of the board. 
Eubbing with a dry silk handkerchief just before using is 
advised. 

RULES FOR DEVELOPING MEDIUMSHIP. 

It is certain that the dead cannot appear except under 
peculiar conditions, as to time, locality and in presence of 
particular chemical, magnetical, electrical, cdic and 
mechanical states ; thus, certain houses, haunted by them, 
cease to be troubled after being opened, aired, ventilated or 
partially tern down. It thus becomes clear that some 
peculiar element, gas, fluid, ether, magnetic, cdic, or electri- 
cal is absolutely necessary in order that the dead may be 
able to prove in a physical manner the grand fact of the 
soul's existence after death. 

It is equally certain that the identical elements, what- 
ever they may be, which afford the dead the means of mani- 
festation, are the very ones essential to successful magneti- 
zation, and the developmnt of clear somnambulic sight or 
psycho-vision, for both spiritual-materialization and clair- 
voyance flourish best coincident with each other; and both 
unquestionably depend upon the existence of an impalpable, 
but positive aura sphere or air, existent in space generally, 
evolved by nearly all bodies and forms of matter in limited 



44 "GRAND GRIMORE." 



IMPERIAL UITUAL Ol^ MACiG. 45 

quantities in condensed form, but occasionally given forth 
in large volume from the bodies of peculiarly constituted 
persons, who then are known under the generic titles of 
clairvoyants, extatics and mediums. 

There are two general classes of human organizations — 
the blonde, or light, who are electric; and the dark, who 
are almost wholly magnetic. Both these classes are medium- 
istic ; but the dark are very seldom capable of evolving the 
peculiar sphere or aura, which is essential to the production 
of phenomena purely physical in its characteristics. But 
occasionally a brunette from some peculiarity does become 
a medium for material demonstrations, and when they are 
so, they excel. But as a general rule the dark person be- 
comes what is known as a speaking medium, or spirit- 
proxy, else become inspirational orators and exalted pro- 
claimers of new, and in some respects, startling, radical and 
iconoclastic thought, not reducible to any system. 

The light persons, generally females, become either 
physical media of either the positive or negative sort, else 
they launch out into independent clairvoyance. 

Mediumship of either kind can easily be reached. 

If two wish to develop by the use of the Planchette, it is 
best that it should be a dark and a light person and, if 
possible, a man and a woman. One alone can develop just 
as well as two, but more time is required for the transfusion 
of the personal aura into the Planchette. 

The person who seeks development must persevere, for 
to begin and then stop is to lose time. There are usually 
two motives inspiring seekers after mediumship, viz: Love 
and Money. One seeks it as a means of living ; the other to 
know, to Icve, to reach the inner and nobler life. One class 
is nearly soulless, the other, all soul. The entire social, 
con jural and domestic worlds to-day are in an uproar, 
chacs and revolution. Were it not so, spiritual intercourse 
en a large scale were impossible. 

There is a morbid and healthy mediumship, the former 
of which li2.£ been quite too ccmmcnj but now and then we 



4^ ''(3IIAND ORtMORE.*' 



iMt^EktAL lllTUAL 01^ MAGIC. 47 

see a man or woman exercise the grand power from a plane 
of personal purity and goodness, but this cannot be readied 
where the heart is for long bereft, and that ever is, until 
the love within goes out to meet as pure a flame. 

Black Magic, and low mediumship leads to lest and 
wrong, and have wrecked many a soul in this day. 

White Magic and high mediumship purifies the heart, 
and sheds abroad the perfume of angels. It teaches self- 
control — a lesson to be learned by all ; it inculcates charity, 
goodness, forbearance. 

Compound or conglom.erate mediumship is that state of 
things wherein the requisite sphere (aura) cannot be fur- 
nished in sufficient quantity by any one person, but can be 
frpm the combined emanation of several; thus it often 
happens that under good conditions the manifestations take 
place freely in circles composed of persons no one of whom 
is mediumistic sufficiently. It also frequently happens that 
the presence of certain persons will prevent the manifesta- 
tions even in the presence of strong and first-class media; 
because such persons either consume, annul or dissipate the 
media aura. 

Where a person alone desires to become a medium, with- 
out any assistance from others in the flesh, the individual 
should provide four thick glass salt-cellars, or the bottoms 
of broken bottles, or tumblers ; in short, anything that is a 
good electric insulator. The legs of the chair on which the 
person sits must be placed on these insulators, as also the 
legs of the foot-stool on which the feet must be placed, 
while no part of the body or dress should be allowed to 
touch the floor. The stand or table used by the sitter 
should also be insulated. Thus prepared the person should 
select a quiet hour, from sunset to midnight, in which to sit. 
There should be a mellow, not too bright light burning — • 
candle-lights are best — the face should be turned either 
North or South, but never East or West, because the mag- 
netic flow of the earth is from North to South, the electric 
from South to North, while the dia magnetic-electric cur- 



4d ^'OllAND GUlMOlil:.'* 



Imperial Iiitual of magic. 49 

rents invariably cross these lines at right angles, and in their 
passage disturb and dissipate the medial aura, or ^'psychic 
force," and render more difficult the success of the experi- 
ment. 

The sittings should, if possible, take place at the same 
hour and locality every night, until the hoped-for results 
fellow. But, if circumstances occur to render that im- 
possible, then the person should sit at whatever place the 
party may happen to be, conforming as far as possible with 
the rules laid down, nor is it advisable to permit any other 
person to assist at the sitting after a lone experiment is 
begun, for the admixture of a new magnetism is almost 
sure to destroy the conditions already obtained. 

The same general rules ought to be followed no matter 
whether by one person or more, hut the same ones should 
always be present, and no more, no less; and they ought 
always to occupy the same seats at the stand or table. It 
ought also to be observed that these sittings should always 
be held in the same room, if possible, an upper chamber, 
especially devoted to the end sought ; for by continued ob- 
servance of this rule the aura-media is not lost, but in time 
will so penetrate and permeate the walls and ceiling as to 
render it a veritable "Spirit Eoom," wherein results will 
follow quicker, stronger and better than anywhere else in 
that house. 

The machinery absolutely necessary for successful physi- 
cal manifestations aro : 1st. Harmony, silence, save music, 
singing and gentle conversation; 2nd. A dark chamber or 
cabinet; 3rd. Honesty, earnestness, truthfulness, goodness. 
4th. Slate-pencils, slate or pencil and paper. 5th. A vial of 
olive oil. 6th. A looking-glass, or what is far better, a 
magic mirror or crystal. This, of course, where the Plan- 
chette is not used. If the Planchette is used, then neither 
pencil or paper nor slate is required. It is well though to 
have a mirror, crystal or magic glass on same table as the 
Planchette. 

Such, in brief, is the rationale of mediumship — a fact 



50 "GMNI) GUlMOllE.*' 



IMPERIAL EITUAL OF MAGIC. 51 

which, like these of magnetism, is indisputable, and fixed 
beyond doubt, cavil or question. By means of these grand 
facts, the immortality of the soul has been, and is, 
triumphantly proved. By the concurrent testimony of all 
the returned dead this other great fact is established, viz : 
That the post mortem existence is a vast improvement on 
this ! and that life is one of constant improvement and ad- 
vancement, that mankind finds peace, pleasure, rest, labor, 
usefulness and affectionate friendship, unswerving, incor- 
ruptible love. 

Note. — To develop conscious mediumship, which is the 
only safe mediumship, whether only one desires to develop 
or six, those undergoing development must never allow 
themselves to fall into a doze or a sleep, but rather give up 
the sitting when beginning to feel drowsy. Bear this in 
mind. •

Lesson I. 

On entering upon this course of instructions, lay aside 
for the time being all previous theories and beliefs. If 
there is anything you do not understand, do not become 
antagonistic. Accept the statements as given. As you pro- 
ceed, the light will shine on your path. The faithful prac- 
tice of the rules will prove the truth of these statements. 

It is taken for granted that you understand the general 
laws which govern the thought-world. That health, wealth, 
love, success, all things you desire, are of your own creation. 
"We express for ourselves, in person and environment, 
whatever we have the power to create. That power is 
simply the will to think consciously along definite lines and 
to put these thoughts into deeds and acts. To have faith 
and courage to act as we think. In other words, just in the 
exact image in which we create our thoughts, will be cur 
lives. A continuous holding fast to the thoughts on any" 
subject, must and will bring them into objectivity. 

We are the creators of our own destiny. No one says 
"no" to us but ourselves. "We do not have to beseech God 
any more than we have to beseech the sun to shine. The 
sun shines because it is its law to shine. It cannot help but 
shine. If it does not shine upon you it is only because you 
do not come out where it can shine upon you. No more can 
God help pouring into us wisdom, love, opulence. Nothing 
can hinder Him but our own thoughts. God wants us to 
have what we want so long as it is the good and the true, 



54 "GRAND GRTMORE." 



IMPERIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 55 

and if We fall short of expressing our desires the fault lies 
within ourselves. 

To the earnest student "White Magic" is the key to the 
door of success. But the pupil must use the key. The door 
does not open of itself. It needs perseverance and will to 
enter boldly and claim your inheritance. 

It is a fact, known beyond dispute, that no person can be 
a success either physically, spiritually or financially unless 
that person possesses an ample store of what is usually 
termed animal magnetism, but which is, in fact, spiritual 
magnetism, from the sun. It is this fact which enables one 
man or woman to sway a multitude and ultimately carve 
their name on the Rock of Ages. It is therefore absolutely 
necessary that each person, unless they were fortunately 
born with an abundant supply of this vital force, to pursue 
some method whereby they may acquire it, and the follow- 
ing exercises are designed for that purpose. 

Before you begin these exercises salute the four cardinal 
deities each time, in the following manner, viz: Stand 
erect and turn your face towards the East and repeat the 
name of Jehovah — pronounced Ye-haw — three times; then 
turn your face towards the South and three times pro- 
nounce the name Adoni — pronounced A-don-i. Turn to the 
North in like manner and utter the name Ahih — pro- 
nounced Eye-ee. Then face the West and three times say 
the name Agla. After you have dene so sit down and after 
meditating fcr a few minutes upon the wonderful works of 
the Great Creator repeat the following: "Let all beings 
be peaceful, let all mankind be happy, let all beings be 
blissful. ' ' Then begin the following exercises : 

EXERCISE FOR THE FIRST WEEK. 

Stand in some quiet place where the air is pure and has 
been vitalized by the sun, place the right hand in the palm 
of the left, keep your feet apart so that heels will not touch. 
Fill the lungs to their utmost capacity and hold the breath 
four seconds, counting four, exhale very slowly. Repeat 



56 ''GllAND GEBrOBE." 



IMPERIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 57 

by filling the lungs to their fullest capacity and holding 
the breath five seconds; exhale slowly. Increase to eight 
seconds. Inhale through nose only. 

Practice this deep breathing exercise for five minutes, 
three times a day for a week, in the morning, before the 
noon meal, and before retiring at night. 

Do not fail in your practice. We purposely make the 
first three lessons simple, a test of your real desire. If you 
follow them in word and spirit — the future will open up to 
you with unnumbered blessings. Have faith that you are 
now on the path to your own. Have faith that staggers not 
at appearances; the faith that compels obedience when the 
command goes out to the sleeper — "Lazarus, come forth!" 
Faith enables the mind to open the door to everything that 
the mind desires, and the more we depend upon the power 
of the mighty soul, the more power we shall receive. There- 
fore combine faith with these exercises and the largest, 
most practical, and best results will be yours.

SUPREME COMMAND TO THE DEITIES. 

Lesson 2. 

More people fail to achieve success from lack of a definite 
plan, or system, than from anything ek-.. No matter how 
much ability one may have, if he lacks in stick-to-it-ive-ness, 
the very essence of success, he will accomplish but little. 

Desire, concentration and breath compose the trinity of 
success. Many systems of development have been taught, 
but very few of them are effective, because they do not 
combine these three essentials. They do not know that the 
great power in accomplishment is the natural sequence of 
the conscious 'breathing upon a thought form; that breath, 
as it relates itself to desire and concentration, produce 
"White Magic." 

To illustrate : You may have a desire, not a mere wish 
but a longing, yearning desire for some one thing that you 
would objectify in your life. Follow this threefold process. 

1. Condense that desire into one word or very short sen- 
tence. 

2. Visualize it. That is, see yourself in possession of that 
which you desire ; see yourself surrounded by that v/hich 
you desire. Outline it so clearly in your thought that it 
stands out boldly; so stamped on your thought-world that 
it becomes the pattern for objectivity or materialization. 

3. Breathe upon it. Inhale slowly, thinking calmly, posi- 
tively of that thought-picture. Feel that you are drawing 
in the power to create, the power to accomplish this desire, 
from the infinite supply. Make the moment of the held 
breath one of poise, power, expectation. Breathe out love. 
The law works both ways. You must pay for what you. 



60 "GRAND GRIMORE." 



iMPEHiAL ElTUAL OF MAGIC. 61 

receive. If you take anything from the infinite, you must 
give its equivalent to humanity. For example : 1. You 
breathe in the desire for money. 2. Hold breath an instant, 
feeling vibrant with power. 3. Breathe out love for all 
humanity. You establish a balance. \^/ 

The infinite storehouse is full of unrelated atoms. Every 
focused thought selects an atom, as it were, and places it 
in the building of your mental picture. Continued, 
systematic concentration brings together these atoms. 
When you realize that the atoms of the unseen side are re- 
lated to those on the material plane, is it not easy to under- 
stand how right thinking produces a corresponding en- 
vironment % 

If you can bring to your assistance a high spiritual ex- 
altation and faith (positive thought force), materialization 
will scon take place, for faith and exaltation will act as a 
cement, binding together the atoms of your thought-world. 

Remember that constructive, hopeful, positive thought 
builds your desires into realization ; while every destructive, 
discouraged, negative thought tears down your structure. 

The breathing is all important. "By carrying a thought 
on the breath the whole organism is stirred and magnetized 
to a high degree. The personal currents open and expand, 
inviting supply. There is lack of nothing in the universal 
energy; the lack is in ourselves, contracting our own 
avenues and shutting out supply or concealing the creative 
povrer through neglect to visualize the thought, fixing it in 
the mind and breathing upon it as a matrix for manifesta- 
tion." 

Exercise for second week. Take same position as for first 
lesson, empty the lungs completely, breathing out every 
particle of air possible, then inhale until the lungs are 
packed full, clasp the hands together and exhale very 
slowly. Practice this exercise for at least ten minutes, three 
times a day. 

The student may take any thought desired while taking 
this exercise. Breathe in health, wealth, success or any 



&2 "GHaND GHIMOHE." 



Imperial ritual of magic. 63 

other thing you desire, hold yourself poised a moment, then 
slowly breathe out love. 

Do not practice these exercises without some definite 
thought. 

Vision only the ideal — then trust the soul for the means 
of accomplishment. 



64 ''ORAND dlilMORK.*'

MAGEAN MAGIC. 

Lesson 3. 

The links that bind Demand and Supply are Faith and 
Affirmation. There is tremendous power, genuine creative 
power in affirming, or asserting a thing. The supply is 
always equal to the demand — but, the demand must be 
consciously made first. "Thou shalt decree a thing and it 
shall be. ' ' 

Affirmations, and especially audible ones, give the faith 
and self-confidence necessary to accomplish your desires. 
Persisted in, this self-treatment produces a buoyancy that 
amounts to positive knowledge and then, no matter what 
the external conditions are at the time, you know that it is 
yours. You are full of divine attraction — a magnet draw- 
ing abundant supply. It literally turns out, that when you 
ask for one thing, a dozen other things come with it to 
prove that "creative energy is ready to burst into bloom 
the moment we make continuous connection with it." 

The success a man achieves simply represents his ex- 
pectations of himself. His environment is the material re- 
flection of his mental picture. The power he uses is nothing 
more than trained, persistent thought aimed in the direc- 
tion of the great purpose he has decided to accomplish. 
* ' There is no law by which you can achieve success in any- 
thing without expecting it, demanding it, assuming it." 

Faith is the secret of occult power. It will open the 
door to every desire. It makes possible the seeming im- 
possible. "Your wants are impressed on the divine mind 
only by your faith. Fear or doubt cuts the connection." 
"_What things so ever you desire, when you pray, lelieve 



ee "GHAND GRlMOilE. 



Imperial ritual of magic. 67 

(active faith) that you receive them and then ye shall have 
thorn." Read the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, especially 
verses 32 to 36. 

EXERCISE FOR THIRD WEEK. 

Take same position as before, extend arms toward the 
South, inhale a deep breath, tilling the lungs to the fullest 
capacity, then clasp the hands together and turn com- 
pletely around in the same direction as the hands of a 
clock, face the South and then slowly exhale the breath. 
Practice in this manner for ten minutes three times a day. 
If j^ou become dizzy in turning around, pause for a 
moment. Remember to always salute the four cardinal 
points. 

It is wise at this point to acquaint the student with a 
method whereby he may be able to kill fear instantly, for 
no man has ever made a financial success by his own effort 
who was afflicted by fear. Inhale a full breath, filling the 
lungs and abdomen first, then expanding the lungs and 
upper chest. Now force the air out of the chest into the 
abdomen, expanding it to the fullest extent, then draw the 
abdomen in again, forcing the air back into the chest. Re- 
peat this process several times before expelling the breath. 
Practice this exercise several times a day. It will kill fear. 

In parting: The person who entertains the Ordinary 
thought will never become extra-ordinary.

Lesson 4. 

On a famous sun-dial is written this motto — one worth 
adopting for life : "I record none but hours of sunshine. ' ' 
How beautiful beyond words would your life be if tuned 
to this key of brightness. 

Too much cannot be said about the use and abuse of the 
thought- wo rid. If you would have a bright, happy en- 
vironment you must hold bright, happy, definite thoughts 
in your mind. Thoughts are not only things, but things 
are thoughts. 

You have not learned the art of living until you have 
trained yourself to register only the constructive thought. 
So long as one demoralizing wave of thought has the power 
to possess you, you are in bondage. All suffering, sickness, 
poverty and failure, is the result of this bondage. There is 
no permanent or real outward way to escape from failure or 
unhappiness. All must come from within. Success or 
victory must be won in your own soul first, and then you 
need not worry or try to help in the outer demonstration. 
"The very walls of Jericho which keep you from your de- 
sire must fall before you." 

Take these two sentences — repeat them over and over 
until they become a part of you: "Success comes to you 
according to the persistent desire and positive expectation 
you put into it," and "How can I lack any good, since 
mind is causation and I can think as I please."

EXERCISE FOR FOURTH WEEK. 

This exercise is practiced by the Yogi of India and is one 
of the greatest secrets of their art, whereby their minds are 
kept strong and their bodies free from disease. Sit per- 
fectly upright. The spinal cord, although it is inside the 
vertebral column, is not attached to it. If you sit crooked 
you disturb the spinal cord, so let it be free. You do your- 
self an injury trying to meditate in a crooked posture. The 
three parts of the body must be held straight ; the chest, the 
neck and the head in one line. You will find that by a little 
practice this will come just as easy as breathing. The next 
thing is to concentrate your mind upon the fact that disease 
is an enemy, and that by breathing in the spirit of life, 
which is God, you can drive out the (d)evil, which is 
disease. Slowly fill the lungs with breath through the left 
nostril, and at the same time concentrate your mind upon 
some sacred word, such as the word Jehovah, then hold the 
spirit or breath in your lungs for some time, then slowly 
exhale it through the right nostril. This you will find a 
little difficult at first to practice. The easiest way is to 
stop the right nostril with the thumb, and then slov/ly 
draw in the breath through the left, then close both nostrils 
with the thumb and forefinger and set your mind upon the 
fact that ycu are driving out disease, and then take the 
thumb off and let the breath out through the right nostril. 
Next inhale slowly through the left nostril, keeping the 
right closed by the forefinger, and then close as before. The 
way the Hindu's practice this would be difficult for cur 
people and of no advantage. It is well to begin with four 
seconds and slowly increase : draw in four seconds, held 
sixteen, then throw out in eight and hold out eight second.?. 
Five minutes each day is sufficient to practice this last 
exercise until you become accustomed. 

After you have faithfully followed the instructions as 
given above, you will begin to feel a wonderful exhiliration 
fill your whole being. Your eyes will grow bright and 



72 ''GRAND GRTMORE." 



^ 






IMPERIAL RITUAL OF MAGIC. 73 

clear, the weak, tired feeling will have left your body and, 
in short, you will feel as if you could lift yourself up by the 
power of a thought. 

You are now in condition to receive knowledge from the 
great thought force that pervades the whole universe, and 
in order to do this, sit down in a quiet, easy posture, with 
the spinal" column erect, with your face toward the East, 
because that is the center from which the spiritual wisdom 
of the universe flows, from the root of the tree of knowl- 
edge. Have the room slightly darkened, close the eyes, sit 
in this manner about twenty minutes at high twelve each 
day and soon you will have knowledge come to you that 
you cannot obtain from any other source and the most 
difficult problems will suddenly unfold before you like the 
petals of a flower. 

Caution. — ^After you have once begun the above exer- 
cise, do not, under any circumstances, have any intercourse • 
for the mere pleasure of it, as the loss of the vital fluid will 
prevent the highest development. Those wishing to reach 
the highest should get "Divine Alchemy," and follow the 
law.

now TO OBTAIN FINANCIAL SUCCESS. 

Lesson 5. 

"Seek and ye shall find, knock (demand) and it shall be 
opened unto you." This is true in a material sense just the 
same as in a spiritual sense. Man is an exact counterpart 
of the universe, and every part of him is connected there- 
with, and when he once knows where and how he is so con- 
nected he is able to draw from the forces of nature just 
exactly what he wants. 

All occult work is based upon the concentration of the 
mind. By use of will-power we draw to ourselves just what 
Vv'e may demand through the understanding of the laws 
governing these things. The result of this method is de- 
termined by the amount of knowledge we possess by which 
cur faith becomes great, for then the supply will be in ac- 
cord with the demand. 

The law of correspondence applied to concentration by 
demand reveals our relationship to the four great centers : 
North, South, East and West. The North represents the 
mineral world, the center or kingdom from which we draw 
all material wealth, money, success and prosperity. Its 
nature, like the mineral kingdom, is cold, unfeeling, devoid 
of warmth and life, but holds in its grasp that material 
which most of us are constantly toiling for, that we may 
supply the physical needs. We are related to this center by 
our bone and muscular system, for the mineral kingdom is 
to the physical structure of the earth what our bone system

special kingdom and when we recognize the real self and

its powers we have but to face the center which represents 
this kingdom and demand our own. Development at this 
center is acquisition of wealth, mineral psychometry. The 
color is red and represents force and strength on a dense 
material plane. Make all your demands between the new 
moon and the full moon. 

By following the above advice you will find that you will 
obtain much better results for the reason that when it is 
on the increase we all receive the benefit of its vibrations 
and it is directly contrary when it is on the decrease. By 
consulting your Bible you will find that Moses and all the 
Jewish priests who came after him were close observers of 
the various phases of the moon and governed themselves 
thereby. 

DEMAND FOR WEALTH. 

Face the North and say: 0, King of the North, I de- 
mand of thee my own. Repeat this demand nine times, 
making a slight pause after each demand. Make your de- 
mands at twelve o'clock at noon or as soon thereafter as 
possible or at low twelve at night. Make all your demands 
in a firm and decided tone of voice. 

If you are about to enter into a business deal with any 
person, make your demands as above directed; then de- 
termine in your own mind just what position you intend 
to take in the matter and what you expect to accomplish; 
form a mental picture of the person with whom you are 
about to deal, provided he is not personally known to you, 
then begin and make your demands of him as if he were 
really present. Say to him in a firm tone : You must do 
as I say — say what you want them to do (mentally) in 
words positive, but short. Feel confident that you do and 
will accomplish your wish. Do not doubt; thought is 
creation, vibration, dominating, and it will go where you 
send it, and perform its mission, if done in harmony with 
this law. 

Always shake hands, if possible, for it will help you to 



78 "GRAND GnnionK.'* 



IMPEHIAL RITUAL OP MAOIC. 79 

impress your wish upon his mind. "When shaking hands 
with any one whom yon wish to impress or influence, press 
your finger in the palm of their hand and your thumb upon 
the outside, just over the third finger, and mentally make 
the same suggestion you made in your room. 

"When making any business deal with another person 
never sit down so that they will be above you, for by so 
doing their influence becomes stronger, and never turn 
your back or side to the other party for then you become 
negative. Face your party squarely; look him squarely in 
the eyes; talk to him in a flrm, decided way and don't be 
afraid to express your real self. Don't be afraid to use the 
word no, when it is necessary.

THE SOUTH CENTER. 
Lesson 6. 

This center corresponds to the vegetable world or king- 
dom of life and vigorous health. 

We are related to it by the vascular system, our cords 
and ligaments. We face this center, and while recognizing 
the power of the sun, we draw into our bodies the breath, 
the thought, the element of life that builds up our bodies 
and makes them fit temples for the soul. 

The psychic developments gained at this center are physi- 
cal clairvoyance and vegetable psychometry and clairvoy- 
ance. Yellow is the color which symbolizes this center^ It 
represents the life of the tropics, fruits and flowers and is 
an emblem of sunshine. 

DEMAND FOR SOUTH CENTER. 

Facing South, say: wonderful planet Sun, giving to 
the earth warmth and vigor, I would draw from thee 
through this center, life, health and vigor until my body is 
a fit temple for the soul, then, Sun, give out to others life 
abundant. Repeat nine times as at first directed. Make 
this demand at high twelve. If any of your friends or 
family are sick make your demands as follows : Gabriel, 
Michael, Raphael and Uriel, who represent and guard over 
the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, I ask with all earnest- 
ness that you restore to health (name the person). This I 
ask in the name of the great Adony who hath created and 
watches over all. Ah-um.

THE EAST CENTER. 

The East represents the mental kingdom upon which de- 
pends the spirituality of the race. Its color is blue and 
signifies spirit and intellect on this plane. Development 
at the East center is spiritual clairvoyance, inspirational 
speaking and writing, painting and all development be- 
longing to the realm of art. Before making the demand 
at this center, if you like, burn a little incense composed 
of the following: pulverized myrrh, white rosin and 
sulphur, one ounce each; common salt, one-quarter ounce j 
mix. The effect is to exalt the soul faculties, 

DEMAND FOR THE EAST CENTER. 

Facing East, say : I demand the power of mentality and 
spirituality that I may overcome all conditions of matter. 
Repeat nine times, then read Psalm 121. 

THE WEST CENTER. 

The West represents the activity of the people, denoting 
the restlessness which develops and gives us all manner of 
civilization. Demand at this center should be made when 
dealing with people. 

DEMAND FOR WEST CENTER. 

Facing the West, say: I demand that (naming the indi- 
vidual) shall (here state what you wish done). Repeat 
nine times. Remember that the results of your demands 
will depend upon the ivill and faith you exert when you 
make them and the earnestness of your purpose. 

Always accompany your demands by the very best efforts 
on your part. God helps these who make an effort to help 
themselves. Never make your demands when in an angry 
or agitated frame of mind. In fact, a good occultist never 
allov/s himself to become angry as it destroys his equi- 
librium. Make your demands in your own private room

and always keep that filled with fresh air and sunlight and 
you will, at last, penetrate the nine brilliant arches and see 
the beautiful triangle with the ineffable name written 
thereon. 

Note. — ^A secret known to but few. Use freely the per- 
fume of the wild wood violet, just the same as you would 
any other perfume. You will find that it will be a great 
aid to you in making friends, especially of the opposite 
sex. If you add carnation pink you will find that it has 
quite a hypnotic effect both upon yourself and others with 
whom you may come in contact.

THE MAGIC WAND. 

Choose the wood of an almond or hazel tree which has 
flowers for the first time ; cut it off at one blow with a sharp 
knife which has never before been used. 

Through this bore a small hole from end to end and in- 
sert a magnetized steel needle of the same length. One end 
is then to be closed by a clear glass bead and the other end 
by a bead of rosin. Each end is then covered with silk 
which is fastened by a ring at each end. 

One ring must be fitted near each end, these must be flat 
and broad enough so as to allow engraving upon them. One 
of them is to be of zinc and the other of brass. 

Each of these rings is to have two small holes to which 
are fastened two chains, one of brass and the other of zinc. 
These chains must be wound around the band. 

Upon the wand must be written the names of the tv/elve 
spirits of the zodiacal cycle, or rather, their sigils should be 
written on it. 

The illustration will give you a clear idea of how this is 
to be done, with the exception that the chains are not 
shown. 

No other work contains the true secret of making this 
wand as these instructions are taken from the only original 
manuscript known to exist and it is the only genuine 
method.
